Could the scientific method still be viable for the constructivist?

I can see why you ask that question. The constructivist relies on subjective experiences to make up their own world and the point of the scientific method is to study things objectively. The scientific method is a way to accurately measure something while cancelling out specific nuisance variables. You have an independent variable, a dependent variable and controls. Yet, one can carry out an objective study and then view it subjectively. The scientific method is important so that those pre-subjective thoughts or predictions do not get in the way of how the results turn out. The article we read a few weeks ago about radical constructivism, argued that radical constructivism should be used in physics classrooms. Physics highly relies on the scientific method to carry out experiments. Just like everyone else, radical constructivists want to discover knowledge and they know that when doing an experiment they cannot let their projections get in their way. The scientific method is viable for the constructivist.

Question: Do radical constructivists face obstacles in daily life that force them to go against their beliefs?
